About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher working in the Cognitive Systems (CoSy) group within the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Bremen. From 2009 to July 2012 I have been a doctoral student in the International Research Training Group on Semantic Integration of Geospatial Information (IRTG-SIGI). My thesis dealt with the development of a system for reasoning with mixed qualitative-quantitative representations of spatial knowledge”. I received my master and bachelor degrees on Information Technology and Automation Engineering at the University of L'Aquila, Italy. Since 2012, I am member of the International Lab for Local Capacity Building (Capacity Lab).

Workshops/Events

The SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition is an interdisciplinary collaborative research center located at the University of Bremen and the University of Freiburg. It has been funded by German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2003.

More than 70 researchers from different disciplines, e.g. informatics, psychology, and linguistics, investigate human cognitive structures and abilities concerning space as well as basic structures to deal with spatial information. In terms of application they want to utilize these findings for software of autonomous systems.
